Chapter 811 - 814: The Choice Between Beauty and Ugliness

The Ancestor of Blood Refinement looked at He Qiong and nodded. As one of the Eight Immortals, she will naturally become an immortal of the Heavenly Court in the future.

Naturally, guide her onto the path of immortality.

Wu Tian pointed his finger, tapping it on He Qiong’s forehead,

and somehow, He Qiong felt she understood something, learned something,

"Go." The Ancestor of Blood Refinement waved his hand: "Remember, having a soft heart is a major taboo."

"Yes."

He Qiong nodded and then left.

Can this girl really do it? Li Xuan couldn’t understand what exactly the Ancestor of Blood Refinement did just now,

pointed a finger at the forehead, and then she left with gratitude?

How did this happen?

The Ancestor of Blood Refinement looked at Li Xuan,

There was another anomaly in the Investiture of the Gods, no doubt, this Li Xuan will also be a member of my Heavenly Court in the future,

Name: Li Xuan,

Cultivation: Tongxuan Eighth Rank.

Suitable for inheritance: Li Tieguai,

Life experiences: Started learning Dao at the age of three, regarded the Dao Emperor as the most admired existence throughout life, at seven...

Every little detail is clearly recorded in the Investiture of the Gods; it turns out this Li Xuan is akin to Li Tieguai.

Ling Tian, Lü Baicha, and others have found their paths,

Li Xuan, being akin to Li Tieguai, naturally had a premonition,

therefore, this morning, all anomalies began,

"To obtain the old form, just meet the new visage."

"Do you remember this statement?"

The Ancestor of Blood Refinement smiled slightly.

This statement was once said by Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad to Li Tieguai,

Li Tieguai, originally named Li Xuan,

is rumored to have been a well-dressed man initially, practicing Daoist Magic in a cave, reaching high levels of achievement. He could even separate soul from flesh. One day, he decided to experience soul travel and attend a lecture by Lord Lao Zi,

so he ordered his disciple to watch over his body, and then his soul went out to play.

Unexpectedly, after a few days, his disciple’s family encountered a major event, requiring his urgent return home, so he had to burn his master’s body and return home. Not long after, Li Tieguai’s soul came back, but he couldn’t find his body. Frantically, he finally managed to find a corpse in the woods who had died of hunger and had to revive using it, hence becoming what he is now.

... The Ancestor of Blood Refinement calmly pondered this matter, while Li Xuan was unsettled in his heart. Wasn’t this the statement I heard in my dream?

How did the Ancestor of Blood Refinement know?

Never had he heard of such a powerful expert!

Amazed, Li Xuan’s heart filled with joy, as the expert knew even the words spoken in dreams, surely they can save me,

By then,

I will again be the handsome gentleman!

Immediately, Li Xuan eagerly knelt before the Ancestor of Blood Refinement.

"I beg the senior to save me. Senior, you surely know why I became so ugly, don’t you?" Li Xuan pleaded,

To him, the Ancestor of Blood Refinement seemed like an immortal, as if knowing everything, and he wished to become handsome again, placing all hopes on the Ancestor of Blood Refinement,

"Indeed." The Ancestor of Blood Refinement nodded, he knew, he knew it well.

"That’s great." Li Xuan was overjoyed, his heart filled with admiration for the Ancestor of Blood Refinement, admiring him to the core,

No need to ask anything, without even removing the veil covering his face, the senior already knew what happened to him,

Against the heavens, it’s shocking,

An expert,

an absolute expert.

Li Xuan cheered in his heart.

"Please, senior, help me restore my original appearance."

"Restore? There’s no need, I think it’s good like this." The Ancestor of Blood Refinement shrugged,

"What?" Li Xuan felt like he’d seen a ghost,

How could the senior say such a thing, catching him off guard.

The Ancestor of Blood Refinement chuckled and said: "Appearance is secondary, the essence is what matters. As long as you have a kind heart, it doesn’t matter if you’re ugly or not."

Li Xuan listened, frowning slightly, tentatively asking: "Re... Really?"

"Really... perhaps."

Wu Tian really couldn’t say it out loud,

Appearance certainly has its use.

"Then why do you say this ugly form of mine is better?" Li Xuan felt like crying,

Balding, covered in acne, crippled,

and emanating such an unpleasant odor.

Can’t wash it off.

"This..."

The Ancestor of Blood Refinement chuckled; in fact, this was a choice,

Between the Martial Path and exquisite appearance,

which do you choose?

The Ancestor of Blood Refinement could only say: "Do you know? You’re chosen by an inheritance that belongs to Li Tieguai. If you cultivate this inheritance well, dominating the Three Realms is not out of the question."

"Really???

Li Xuan was somewhat incredulous,

becoming ugly,

could still have an inheritance?

The Ancestor of Blood Refinement knew his disbelief, pointed, and a metal crutch and a wine gourd appeared before Li Xuan,

The metal of Li Tieguai’s crutch is unique, made from Qiangang gold, forged into a crutch in Lord Lao Zi’s Furnace of Eight Trigrams.

The gourd can expand to carry people, filled automatically with objects like fine wine or necessary potions for helping the world.

Wu Tian tapped again, and Li Tieguai’s inheritance entered Li Xuan’s mind,

"Now, how should you address me?"

"Master." Li Xuan hesitated for a moment, but said it anyway,

"Hmm." The Ancestor of Blood Refinement nodded: "Go back now. Comprehend the inheritance."

Li Xuan nodded and turned to leave,

But after just a few steps, he felt something was wrong,

This time, he didn’t come for the inheritance, but to restore his handsome appearance.

He turned around,

The little fellow asked: "In this world, is it easier for handsome men to be admired by women, or strong men?"

"Of course..." Li Xuan pondered for a while and said, "Of course, the strong men."

The little fellow nodded: "Then aren’t you satisfied? With this inheritance, becoming a strong man is just around the corner."

Li Xuan nodded, then strode away.

After he left,

the little fellow chuckled: "Sigh, this person’s intelligence is a hard flaw."

"What do you mean?" Bo Gu asked.

"Secrets of heaven must not be divulged." The little fellow chuckled,

Bo Gu and Meng Tian exchanged glances, feeling that talking with the little fellow didn’t feel like speaking with a four or five-year-old child,

they couldn’t help but look at Wu Tian with admiration.

Only Wu Tian could have such a daughter.

The little fellow felt frustrated, clearly showing cleverness, but these two looked at her father with admiration instead of her,

Shouldn’t they be looking at her?

... He Qiong had already left, she was a village girl, and no one cared too much about her,

but Li Xuan was different.

After he went in, no one knew if his troubles had been resolved?

"The Ancestor of Blood Refinement, with vast knowledge, capable of everything, his recent accomplishments are almost mythical. But who knows, has the Ancestor of Blood Refinement come up with a solution to Li Xuan’s problem?"

"We’ll know when Taoist Li Xuan comes out. If it’s resolved, Taoist Li Xuan will definitely not wear a veil. He is charmingly handsome and would want everyone to see his beauty."

"Exactly."

Just then, the courtyard door opened, and Li Xuan came out, but he was still wearing the veil.
